A machine gun mount is provided for mounting a machine gun in a movable support arm of a helicopter. The mount includes a gun cradle which is detachably connected to the gun and a pintle one end of which is adapted to pivotably mount the pintle, and thus the mount, on the movable support arm. This enables pivoting movement of the gun in a horizontal plane. The pintle is pivotably connected at the opposite end to the cradle so as to permit the cradle, and thus the gun, to be rotated in a vertical plane through 90 degrees between operative and stowed positions. A locking mechanism locks the cradle in the stowed position. A magazine is attached to one side of the cradle while a spent case and link frame and associated catch bag are attached to the opposite side. The magazine includes an inwardly projecting portion disposed below the cradle.

A gun mount for spanning an opening, such as a door or window, may include a generally tubular bar having a pivot and lock structure on one end. The bar may include a pair of slots formed on opposing sides of the bar. A locking sleeve may be slidable on the bar. A fastener may be fixed to the locking sleeve and translatable in the pair of slots in the bar. A second generally tubular bar may include a yoke at one end and a hinge assembly at another end. The yoke may be rotatably engaged with the pivot and lock structure. The pivot and lock structure may include a locking groove. A spring-loaded locking plunger may be translatably disposed in the yoke and may include a protrusion that is selectively engagable with the locking groove.
